A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
The Air/Ocean Equipment Engineering (AOEE) Program Element provides new capabilities to support naval combat forces. This program engineers and
developmentally tests organic and remote sensors, communication interfaces, and processing and display devices. This equipment is engineered to measure, ingest,
store, process, distribute and display conditions of the physical environment that are essential to the optimum employment and performance of naval warfare systems.
AOEE also engineers capabilities for shipboard and shore-based tactical systems. A major thrust area for the AOEE program is to provide the engineering development
of specialized equipment and measurement capabilities that are intended to monitor specific conditions of the physical environment in hostile and remote areas in
response to fleet demand signals for increased sensing capability and capacity to support battlespace collections and prediction on short to intermediate time scales.
With such capabilities, the war fighters' situational awareness of the operational effects of the physical environment are made more certain.
Major emphasis is on the Meteorological and Oceanographic Future Mission Capabilities (METOC FMC) project.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This project provides for the engineering and manufacturing development of sensors, communication interfaces, processing and display meteorological and
oceanographic (METOC) equipment. This equipment is designed to provide future mission capabilities for war fighters to measure, ingest, store, process, distribute and
display METOC parameters and derived products.
This project also exploits new government off-the-shelf /commercial off-the-shelf technologies, tactical sensors and web enablement for the Navy's computer-based
tactical shipboard and shore capability used to predict and assess the operational effects of the physical environment on the performance of platforms, weapons
and sensor systems. This project includes development of warfare specific mission planning modules to support unmanned systems with integration of data from
environmental and tactical sensor systems, model forecast information and Geospatial Information & Services Databases. This project also supports development
of autonomous environmental sensing systems for situational awareness and tactical decision aid/mission planner support, as well as iridium and advanced satellite
communication integration in METOC sensor, vehicle control and mission planning systems that will be required to achieve Chief of Naval Operation objectives for
information dominance and decision superiority.
Major emphasis areas include the Meteorological and Oceanographic Future Mission Capabilities (METOC FMC) project and the Environmental Satellite Receiver
Processor (ESRP) (comprised of AN/SMQ-11 (sea and shore configuration) and AN/FMQ-17 (shore configuration)) program.
FY 2015 request provides for the continued development of advanced software tools for METOC asset allocation, METOC decision support software applications and
interfaces to tactical and strategic decision aids along with component and prototype efforts associated with acquiring environmental data, and the development of an
end-to-end methodology to collect, fuse, and integrate these data into Navy and DoD networks and command and control nodes, and continue the development to
support infrastructure for advanced global and regional prediction systems.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This project provides for the engineering and manufacturing development of specialized, high resolution instrumentation systems and measurement capabilities for
obtaining near real-time, in-situ Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) data in hostile, remote, and denied areas. The project's objectives are to engineer nearterm future mission sensing capabilities that are intended to survive the harsh littoral and deep-strike environments and also to meet demanding requirements for
timeliness and accuracy. Engineering is performed within this project to ensure that air and safety certification for deployment from fleet aircraft or ships is met and that
the proper data formats are engineered for electronic communications transmissions, human interface displays, and inputs to predictive models.
The major area of emphasis is the METOC Future Mission Capabilities (FMC) project.
FY 2015 request provides for the continued development of advanced sensor system support hardware and software technologies for sensor deployment, data
processing and performance metrics to optimize sensor performance and assess the viability of sensors and subsystems on unmanned and manned aircraft systems
and autonomous undersea platforms for collection of automated METOC data and information.
